A pearlescent coastal serving piece inspired by shells, sea-worn textures and the shifting colours beneath the water.
A one-of-a-kind ceramic piece with an almost otherworldly quality, Nerissa takes its inspiration from the textures, colours and hidden treasures of the shoreline.
Formed from sand-enriched clay, the piece retains a beautifully raw coastal character beneath layers of soft turquoise, warm sandy yellow and luminous pearlescent glaze. Its irregular, rippling edge and sculptural detailing give it the feeling of something shaped beneath the sea, while delicate flashes of iridescence appear and disappear as the light moves across the surface.
Designed to be both sculptural and functional, Nerissa makes a striking piece for entertaining. The generous main dish is particularly suited to presenting oysters, caviar and other seafood or small hors d'oeuvres, while the integrated raised bowl provides a beautiful place for an accompaniment such as the traditional shallot vinaigrette served with oysters, sauces or garnishes. For caviar, the piece also lends itself beautifully to an elegant presentation, with the main dish used as part of a chilled display and the smaller bowl for accompanying elements.
Away from the table, Nerissa can be used for jewellery, trinkets and treasured objects, or simply enjoyed as an unusual piece of coastal art.
